"What if a battalion is pulled back?" Xiong Changhe's voice reached Wang Ping's ears again.

However, as soon as the words were spoken, Xiong Changhe showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

Pulling back a company is the deputy battalion commander, and according to this standard, pulling back a battalion is at least a battalion commander, and even a deputy regiment commander is possible.

However, the new regiment had no place for him at all in terms of the establishment of the three main battalions, which completely created a problem for Wang Ping.

However, the problem is a problem, after Xiong Changhe's words were spoken, the eyes of all his subordinates were still focused on Wang Ping at the same time, wanting to know the answer.

Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

It is almost impossible to pull out a battalion of troops in a month under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, but it is not impossible. Maybe I have such a talent in my hands, and I don't mind drawing a big pie for everyone to find out this talent.

After smiling, he replied: "Battalion Commander Xiong's proposal is very good, if I can pull back a battalion, how can I personally ask the brigade commander for the establishment of a battalion, and the position of the commander of the fourth battalion of the new regiment is his, no matter whether he was a platoon commander or a company commander before, I only look at the results!" ”

"However, I also have requirements, whether it is a company or a battalion, what I want is a unit that can fight, not a shrimp soldier and crab general!"

"Also, the commanders of the three companies will leave for the headquarters, and I will provide you with at least fifty weapons and ammunition. As for food, you can only solve it yourself. How to survive the heavy encirclement and suppression of the devils must also be solved by themselves! ”

Wang Ping broke through the Japanese blockade several times in a row, and the last permanent firepower point was officially put into use just now.

On the blockade line stretching for nearly 10 kilometers, there were six strongholds with turrets, and sixteen firing points with machine-gun bunkers and turrets, with an average of one in three or four hundred meters. The weaker bunker is stationed with a squad of devils and two machine guns, and the stronger one is directly stationed with an infantry squad plus a heavy machine gun squad.

With these condescending points of fire, the bullets fired by the devils can envelop the entire blockade line.

If the Eighth Route Army wants to pass through this blockade line, whether it is entering or leaving the mountain, it can only fill it with its life, and there is no other way.

At six o'clock in the evening, the captain of the brigade who had inspected the last firing point did not leave and decided to stay here for the night.

The captain of the devil squad stationed here did not let go of this opportunity to tie up with the captain, and tried every means to prepare food for the captain.

While ordering the nearby maintenance association to prepare wine and meat to be delivered to the stronghold, he took the initiative to send troops into the mountains and shoot some prey for the captain.

The performance and compliments of the team leader made the captain feel very good, he usually doesn't drink much, but in the face of good wine, he couldn't help but drink two more glasses, and then fell asleep in the room carefully prepared by the team leader.

And at this moment, Wang Ping took three shelf companies, artillery companies, and guard companies, and directly touched behind a mountain beam less than 500 meters away from the devil's stronghold.

Whether it is a devil's stronghold farther away or a pillbox and turret a little closer, there are sporadic lights shooting outward.

Through the binoculars, Wang Ping could clearly see that there were people patrolling the top of the turret and the bunker. Because it's too far, I can't tell whether it's a devil or a puppet army.

Looking at the gap between the stronghold and the bunker, the patrol team formed by the puppet army had no intention of stopping at all, and kept patrolling back and forth.

Hong Ruijun, the old Red Army squad leader who was appointed as the commander of the guard company by himself a few days ago, his face became solemn when he saw this, and then he frowned and reminded: "Regiment commander, the Japanese puppet army is too heavily guarded, and permanent firepower points have been built on all the high grounds, and condescending firepower can block the entire blockade line. Unless we destroy a point of fire and leave a blind spot on the defensive line, we won't be able to rush through at all! ”

Putting down the binoculars, Wang Ping replied in agreement: "Whether it's a strong attack or a sneak attack, you can't get by!" ”

Chen Dong, the commander of the artillery company, immediately reminded: "Otherwise, we will still use the old method!" ”

"Regiment leader, I have prepared the chili powder, it is the hottest chili pepper, it will definitely choke the devil and lose his combat effectiveness!"

Wang Ping thought for a while and replied: "It is estimated that it is useless, the devil has been fooled once, and it is difficult to make mistakes on the same issue again!" Moreover, as long as the devils are equipped with gas masks, our paprika shells will not do them anything! ”

"However, you can experiment first, maybe the devil is not equipped with a gas mask yet, then we have a chance!"

In less than twenty minutes, the three mortars brought by the artillery company opened fire.

"Baga, it's an artillery bombardment, enter the position, the Eighth Route Army is coming, they want to attack us!" The screeching of cannonballs flying across the sky woke up the sleeping military cao.

However, until he jumped out of bed and touched the shooting hole, he still did not hear a violent explosion.

And the screeching of shells from far and near still kept coming.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Suddenly, a choking smell of chili powder came in from the shooting hole.

Jun Cao's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "It's the pepper shells made by the Eighth Route Army themselves, put on gas masks, and prepare for battle!" ”

"Tubalu must be hungry in the mountains, they want to rush out!"

As soon as he put on his gas mask, a thick red smoke filled around the bunker, and then the shooting holes poured into the bunker.

In a matter of seconds, the entire bunker was shrouded in a thick red smoke.

"Captain, the smoke is too thick to see the situation outside the dark castle at all!" The machine gunner, who was holding a light machine gun at the edge of the firing hole, shouted anxiously.

"I can't see anything either!" Another machine gunner hurriedly added.

Jun Cao frowned and made a decision: "Shoot, shoot now!" ”

"The enemy may attack us at any time, and for the sake of safety, we must not let them come near us!"

"Da ......" The two machine gunners fired decisively, and the bullets flew through the smoke and towards the foot of the mountain.

"Commander, the pepper cannonball doesn't seem to work!" The sudden sound of gunfire shattered Chen Dong's dream of breaking through the blockade with the help of chili cannonballs.

"It must be the devil who equipped the troops on the blockade line with gas masks!" Wang Ping frowned and judged.

The commander of the guard company next to him was anxious, and immediately asked: "Then what should I do, the little devil machine gun is too good, there is smoke blocking the view, and the bullets are flying close to the ground." If there was no smoke, we would have been more accurate, and no number of us would have been able to rush through the bullets! ”

This sentence sounded very demoralizing, but Wang Ping did not deny it.

"It's not just the devils in the bunker that are difficult to deal with, but farther away, the devils in the stronghold can also shoot here condescendingly. When the time comes, machine gun bullets fired from two directions form a crossfire, which can be completely interwoven here into a bullet net to block us! ”

Wang Ping's words made the morale of several people suddenly become low, especially Hong Ruijun, who replied directly in a heavy tone: "Regiment leader, then there is no way for us to cross this blockade line and be completely blocked in the mountains by devils!" ”

At this moment, a confident smile suddenly flashed from Wang Ping's face.

Then he replied in a surprising voice: "If we can't go through the ground, we will rush through the ground!" ”
